Undoing the damage

Barack Obama plans on reviewing all of Bush's executive orders and repealing the ones he does not agree with as quickly as possible.  

Some of the more nasty ones:
  • Bush has said that climate change is not a threat to humans, which severely limits the steps agencies will take to reduce or regulate carbon emissions.  
  • Bush has not allowed California to enact its own environmental policies relating to carbon emissions from vehicles.  Obama will definitely repeal this.  As California is the biggest state, its emissions policies will be forced on the other states.  In this case it is a good thing as their proposal would require an average of 36MPG in cars within a few years.
  • Repealing the religion based stem cell rules.
Expect these and many more to be reviewed and repealed.

Some of Bush's things definitely need to be repealed.

For Keith Olberman section, I can't leave a comment, but I'll leave it here:

I normally don't like this guy but this time he actually spoke out about this in a nice way and didn't sound like a fool. I disagree with him on most of it but do agree that gay/lesbians should have civil unions. That's how I feel.
